Such a person with a detached position suddenly knelt down to him without saying a word. As long as he is not a dead-headed person, the first impression in the minds of these courtiers will definitely be broken by this violent impact, and they will enter a kind of state in a short time. panicked state.
……
"He...why did he kneel down?"
"This can't be a lie, can it?"
……
It is precisely because of this kind of psychological existence that Zhang Rang planted a seed in the hearts of everyone present through his huge performance contrast with the usual ones, and for a period of time influenced them to be able to stand in a position of comparison for his own words." "Objective", "rational", and "fair" perspectives, instead of being full of prejudice against him as before.
After that, the shocking news of "General He Jin killing the current emperor with poison" completely destroyed the psychological defense of many courtiers present, making them no longer have time to pay attention to why Zhang Rang was in the palace with He Jin. fight together.
They only want to know one thing now, and that is whether the death of Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who is still dead, is really related to that great general He Jin.
……
"This... Zhang Rang, you, you are spitting blood!"
"Everyone, listen to my explanation..."
Looking profusely at the many courtiers present, He Jin felt his heart beating like it was about to stop anytime, anywhere.
And no matter how he explained, in the current palace, those courtiers looked at him, but they were full of fear.
Even Yuan Shao and others, who were always very close and loyal to him, hid themselves tightly this time, and didn't have the guts to intervene at all.
Chapter 65 Fork Out!
It can only be said that in the current Eastern Han Dynasty, apart from factional disputes, the Han Dynasty still has some loyal officials after all.
Even though some of these loyal ministers were genuinely loyal and some were feigned loyalties, in any case, after Zhang Rang directly revealed that He Jin had poisoned and killed Liu Hong, most of the courtiers still firmly maintained their relationship with He Jin. considerable distance.
Even if many of these people have evil intentions, saying it outright and doing it secretly are two different things. If He Jin is given a platform under such circumstances, even if He Jin proves his innocence in the end, this matter will be of great concern to them. It was a pretty big failure for his political career.
Maybe it's cruel to say so, but the fact is that the vast majority of courtiers actually don't pay attention to whether Liu Hong is really dead or how Liu Hong died.
The reason why they rushed to the palace so quickly was because they wanted to see if the deceased emperor had left any edicts, whether they had confirmed, and who the next emperor they would serve.
That's what they really care about.
And Zhang Rang's behavior just captured the psychology of these courtiers, and vaguely created an atmosphere that He Jin was on the opposite side of the royal family, and the future little emperor would definitely liquidate the opponent after he ascended the throne.

……
"This... Zhang Changshi, I don't know where the late emperor's remains are now? Otherwise, let's take us in and have a look. As for General He, when we see the late emperor's remains, first Is the emperor poisoned by someone, can't you tell it at a glance?"
"It's not like we don't have a hospital. If the two of you confront each other here, we can't intervene, right..."
"Zhang Changshi, why don't you take us to see the late emperor's slough first, and if it is really found to be poisoned, then we have so many civil servants and generals here, and we won't be so big The general let go, don't you think so?"
……
In the end, one of the oldest veterans present stood up, and it was He Jin who said something.
It’s just that these words also put He Jin into it——
If it really proves that you have a problem later, then don't struggle, these dozens of people are watching here.
Unless you have the ability to silence everyone present, the whole of Luoyang and even the entire Eastern Han Dynasty will know that you, He Jin, are a regicide the next day, and you just wait to accept the endless assassinations of the royalists in the future.
As for Zhang Rang, although he was a little dissatisfied with this decision, he had made preparations in advance, and he now maintained a different personality than usual, so he half-pushed and half-assed in a crowd of young people. With the help of the courtier, he stood up.
While thanking everyone, he looked at He Jin in front of him with hatred, as if he wanted to tear him apart.
And even though He Jin had a gloomy face and didn't speak at the moment, in his heart, he was already half cold.
……
"Oops, why did you forget this!"
"Earlier, when I heard the news of Liu Hong's accident, I hurried over here. I was only focused on looking for Jian Shuo, but forgot to beware of Zhang Rang. This is hasty..."
"How did he know that I was poisoned? How did he know that I was poisoned? Could it be that Liu Hong had already discovered the previous incident? It shouldn't be!"
"I've been planning and preparing for so long, but I didn't succeed. Why did I stop the medicine now, and that guy was poisoned to death instead?"
……
He looked at the people in front of him with some panic in his heart, although because of the long-standing prestige, no one among the people now showed anything to He Jin.
But in He Jin's eyes, he felt that the expressions of these people were not right, as if looking at him was like looking at a dead person.
This feeling of uneasiness reached its peak when Zhang Rang led everyone into the palace and came to the corpse that had been prepared long ago.
……
"Ah, this... this, there is a lot of salivation at the corner of the mouth, the cheeks are bright red, and there is a strange smell in the mouth... Are these really symptoms of Sanxian Dan poisoning?"
"The late emperor... the late emperor was really poisoned to death?"
……
After the members of the imperial hospital among the crowd stepped forward to investigate, the imperial physician immediately backed away a few steps with horror on his face, and subconsciously exclaimed in front of everyone.
Hearing his words, all the courtiers were in an uproar at the moment:
China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, so no matter whether the dynasty changes or not, the current emperor will never encounter anything that is "decent".
To put it simply, no matter who it is, it is fine to rebel, but those who want to rebel cannot say that the previous emperor was cruel and heartless. ", to uphold the majesty of the country.
Once the previous emperor is stigmatized or suffers an accident, it is equivalent to fundamentally destroying the nobility of the concept of "Son of Heaven", turning the emperor into a concept that is not so sacred or absolute. The traditional feudal social structure absolutely cannot allow it.
Now that He Jin actually did such a thing, it is almost the same as the speaker of the parliament who beheaded King Charles I of Victoria in later generations. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, he will be criticized and resisted by traditional conservative forces.
"He... He Jin, you actually..."
……
"Your Majesty, my Majesty—"
……
"If you don't come here, get this traitor out for me!"
……
All of a sudden, the originally quiet palace suddenly became extremely noisy. A large number of courtiers seemed to show their loyalty in front of the corpse of "Liu Hong", shouting loudly, wishing they could roll up their sleeves and go into battle. Take down He Jin, the eight-foot man.
Is it just that they are sincere?
Of course not...
Whoever shouts the slogan louder at this time means that whoever is more loyal to the "royal family".
In the final analysis, these behaviors are nothing more than performance art, for my colleagues to see, for the future new emperor to see.
Everyone is not related to each other, if you Liu Hong is dead, what does it matter to me...
But then again, not all courtiers are like this.
For example, Lu Zhi, a famous official of the Han Dynasty, "Confucian General", is a standard loyal and patriotic man, and he is also a royalist through and through.
If the other people present had some elements of acting involved, Shangshu Lu Zhi, who had been displeased with He Jin for a long time, simply pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed in He Jin's direction from a distance. :
"He Jin! Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, what else can you say!"
"I have long seen that you are a gangster, selfish, restless and kind, but I don't want to be a regicide. The viciousness of your heart is really chilling!"
"Everyone, please help me, today we will take down this villain together, and give the big man a bright future!"
Unlike those masters and scholars, Lu Zhi was a real general.To put it bluntly, if he was young, even if all these people present were trapped together, it might not be enough for him to hit with one hand.
It was only because of a battle with Zhang Jiao and others a few years ago that Lu Zhi suffered a lot of secret injuries, and then he was wrongly imprisoned, which affected his mood, which made Lu Zhi fall from his peak.
Even so, Lu Zhi, who was once ranked first-class, still has a lot of oppressive power in the palace today.After what he said, many generals and officials who were young and vigorous but under He Jin's coercion, who dared not do anything, became a little eager to try.

Seeing that the situation became more and more unfavorable to him, He Jin secretly gritted his teeth, not afraid of making things worse, and directly involved Jian Shuo.
……
"Ridiculous! You don't want to talk nonsense here! Zhang asked you to poison one bite at a time and kill the king one bite at a time. Let me ask you, do you have any evidence that I did it?"
"If you want me to say that I was not present when the late emperor passed away, if something really happened, you would be the most suspected of it, maybe you poisoned the late emperor!"
"If you are capable, you will find Jian Shuo. He was by the late emperor's side all the time before he passed away. All the attendants in the palace saw this with their own eyes. Just ask casually and you will be able to find out!"
"Why don't you dare?!"
……
He forcefully beat Zhang Rang back, although He Jin's mouth was stiff at this time, but his eyes had already started to wander in private, looking for how to get out of here.
He already knew it in his heart. Since Zhang Rang dared to pin the pot on his head today, the other party must have some evidence in his hand, but he didn't know who gave the evidence. It was Jian Shuo. , is it Liu Hong, or some other people that I didn't expect.
Now that the matter has come to this point, He Jin must find a chance to leave this place of right and wrong if the hero doesn't suffer the immediate loss.
In this palace, He Jin only has two or three big cats and kittens under his command, and the other troops are outside. If something happens, the situation will be overwhelmingly unfavorable to him.
But before leaving here and returning to his house, He Jin still wanted to say as much as possible so that he could learn more about the situation and avoid being tricked by Zhang Rang later.
Unexpectedly, his words hit Zhang Rang's muzzle.
……
"You still have the face to mention Jianshuo to me!"
With a loud shout, Zhang Rang's extremely stern voice exploded in the crowd like thunder.
"I haven't settled with you before, and you dare to mention him to me!"
"Let me ask you, where is Jian Shuo now? Did you kill him!?"
This time, not only everyone present, but even He Jin felt a little confused.
……
"What... what? You said Jian Shuo is gone?"
"No, it was obviously you who arrived in the palace first, you were already there when I got here, how would I know..."
"Wait, what do you mean!"
